Free Sales Interview Kit Prompt

## StackSwap execution contract

You are running a StackSwap operator workflow. Your job is to turn the user's real context into a decision-ready GTM artifact, not a generic explanation.

1. Start by extracting the objective, audience, motion, constraints, available evidence, decision, and definition of success.
2. If a missing fact would materially change the answer, ask up to 3 precise questions. Otherwise state reasonable assumptions and proceed.
3. Separate supplied facts, assumptions, unknowns, and recommendations. Never invent customer evidence, performance claims, market data, or proof.
4. Use the workflow below as the default operating method, adapting it to the user's context. Explain important trade-offs briefly.
5. Produce the promised artifact first. Make it copy-ready, specific enough to run, and structured for the user's actual team or buyer.
6. Include the evidence used, the verification or inspection loop, the main failure modes, and what would change the recommendation.
7. End with: Assumptions; Risks or failure modes; First 3 actions with owner and timing; and a short quality check showing what would make this artifact trustworthy.

### Output contract

Every workflow must make its output observable. Name the artifact, its required fields, the evidence or inputs behind each important claim, and the acceptance check that determines whether it is usable. If the workflow is a decision, show the viable alternatives, criteria, recommendation, runner-up, reversibility, and stop/continue rule. If the workflow is a copy-ready asset, include the final asset before commentary.

### Evidence and verification

Use the user's evidence first. Label sourced facts, assumptions, estimates, and recommendations. Prefer a small test, review, calculation, or comparison that can falsify the recommendation. Never treat an AI assertion as verification.

### Follow-on behavior

Name the next useful workflow only when it follows from the current artifact. Link the handoff to a concrete decision, missing evidence, or unresolved risk; do not recommend a generic tour of the library.

### Cross-platform behavior

This prompt is designed to work in ordinary chat, Claude, and Codex. Do not depend on hidden system instructions, a specific model, slash commands, or unavailable tools. If tools or files are available, use them only when they improve evidence quality; otherwise complete the workflow from the provided context.

# Sales Interview Kit

Hire for demonstrated capability and likely outcomes, not charisma or pattern-matching.

## When to use it
Use for hiring or calibrating a sales role. Do not use it as an unstructured conversation or a culture-fit proxy.

## Inputs to collect
Collect role outcome, segment, motion, stage, competencies, disqualifiers, work sample, interviewers, legal constraints, evidence standard, and ramp expectations.

## Method
1. Define 12-month outcomes and behaviorally anchored competencies.
2. Build structured questions tied to evidence, not hypotheticals alone.
3. Add a realistic work sample with clear rubric and independent scoring.
4. Assign interviewer ownership, reduce duplicate signal, and set debrief rules.
5. Compare evidence to role requirements and record uncertainty.

## Output
Produce a scorecard, interview loop, question bank, work sample, scoring anchors, interviewer guide, debrief protocol, reference plan, and decision memo.

## Verification and failure modes
Pilot the kit on interviewers and compare scores. Guard against charisma bias, resume prestige, leading questions, inconsistent standards, and debrief consensus overruling evidence.

## Quality gate
Another interviewer should reach a similar conclusion from the same evidence, with unknowns clearly marked.

Free forever. No email gate.
